Day 11 of #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas

Thanks so much for stopping by CarleeMcDot.com today. Whether you've been following along on my journey since I started this blog OVERELEVENYEARSAGO or you stopped by for the first time today - WELCOME!

And no matter how long you've been visiting, you picked an AMAZING time to pop in because we're celebrating my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas {read my post announcing this series HERE if you don't know what I'm talking about}.

Today is Day 11 of my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas! And the prize today is pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! Although, to be honest, all of the prizes are AMAZEBALLS! If I could enter my own giveaways I'm pretty sure I would enter each and every one of them in this series because they are just that awesome.

For today, DAY ELEVEN, eleven winners will be selected, each winning a box of PROBAR goodies.

To say the hubby and I are #FueledByPROBAR would be an understatement. I'll have a BASE bar for breakfast before workouts, the hubby takes a MEAL bar with him to work for lunch every day, we both snack on FUEL bars when we're out and about, and I fuel my long runs with BOLT chews. Once you find something that works, stick with it, right?!

And now they offer Nut Butters, oh, say it ain't so! I was able to try them all and they are DELISH with a capital D!

We love PROBAR for oh so many reasons. Just a few of them are because they create delicious, convenient, healthy food products. Their ingredients are plant-based, coming from sustainable sources which have a small impact on the earth and a significant and positive impact on our bodies. PROBAR doesn't compromise when it comes to quality, and their Non-GMO Project Verified products are proof that packaged food can maintain quality, sustainability, purity and taste. Not only that, PROBAR uses certified organic ingredients in their products.

Because PROBARROCKSMYSOCKS (and because I was able to sweet talk my contact into hooking you up), eleven winners will grab a case of WHATEVERPRODUCT they want! You could pick a tried and true fuel for your runs, the new live probiotic nutritional bars or even a variety pack to try multiple options at once - the possibilities are endless!

Entering this giveaway (along with the other #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas giveaways) is easy-peasy! Simply use the Rafflecopter widget listed below on the giveaway blog post and cross your fingers. Some entries are available daily so I'd HIGHLY recommend entering early and often. (Shoot, I would even go as far as suggesting you set an alarm to remind you to come back to this page every 24 hours so you can take advantage of as many entries as possible!)

a Rafflecopter giveawayNow, the nitty gritty details... All entries are verified, so please make sure to do whatever the required action for the entry is or it will be disqualified. I would hate for you to miss out on winning due to a technicality, so if you are going to click the option, make sure you do whatever it asks or a new, random winner will be selected in your place.

Also, this giveaway will last seven days, with the winners being picked (and notified) on the eighth day. The winners will have 24 hours to reply to the congratulations email from me to claim their prize. That means, for this giveaway, it will end on December 17th at 11:59pm PST and the ELEVEN winners will be chosen on December 18th.And, finally, the winners must have a US mailing address. International shipping seems to cost an arm and a leg these days, and customs is a major headache, so to make it easier (and cheaper) on the brands who have offered up their products, the winners must live in United States of America (or at least have an address we can ship to within the US).

With that said, BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERS! And don't forget to stop back tomorrow to see what is up next in my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas (I promise you do NOT want to miss out on any of these giveaways!)!

PS Just in case you aren't one of the ELEVEN lucky winners, you can still use coupon code "CARLEE15" for 15% off your order (because EVERYONE is a WINNER in my book)! So get your shop on and save a few dollars in the process!

I usually have a piece of toast with peanut butter and honey before heading out for a long run. I have had the regular probars before - I didn't know they had so many new options now! That sriracha peanut butter looks delish!!

Fueling is my downfall. I'm okay until I get up into those 18 milers and beyond. I've loved Tailwind and had a lot of success with it, but I hate racing road marathons with a handheld or a hydration vest, and some big city marathons don't allow a vest. So I'm going back to Clif shots. Maybe Probar would be a good solution.

I’ve tried gels and homemade bananas chews but haven’t found anything I love yet for fueling during long runs. I’ve even gotten a bag of gummy bears from a gas station I was running by once because I was in a pinch!

What is my go-to fuel for longer runs? I start with solid fuel, like PRObars. Around midway through I generally switch to gels or nut butters; easier to digest and get the glucose into my system right away.

Even though my longest length is currently 5 miles, I’m still figuring out what works best for me - something small enough that’s capable of giving me fuel without upsetting my stomach. So far it’s been half a banana and 8oz of milk with protein powder in a shaker bottle. These bars look awesome & I’d love to try them! :D
